Description
Moody, evocative, dreamy, deep music from Oakland-based dark psychedelic/indie band Catch Pritchard, available on a very limited LP. "Everything I Love Has Fallen From Me" demonstrates the experimental spirit of Catch Prichard, fusing processed acoustic instruments, tape manipulation, and orchestral sampling to achieve a delicate balance between ambient soundscapes and traditional songwriting. Serving as the arranger, composer,and producer, Sawyer Gebauer presents these tracks as a candid reflection of doubt, inhibition, desire,and hope. Ultimately, these songs echo the vulnerabilities of the self and inspire the strength to grow larger than our limitations.
"Everything I Love Has Fallen From Me" serves as an evocative exploration of the human experience and the transient nature of the self, underscoring Gebauer's enduring dedication to pushing creative boundaries. 'Violent Weather' has the chilling gravitas of Johnny Cash's rendition of Nine Inch Nails' 'Hurt', but taken (perhaps) to a more hopeful place. 'Those That Live Dance' states its existential angst -- and a potential way out -- in literate shimmering verses: 'My window faces the west. And out west there's the ocean. And in that ocean lies something deep and that something is deep in me. I can feel the pressure. And it's getting hard to see. But something keeps me floating there, so I'll trust and I'll believe." A series of studies in dark blueish-green. Deep, monumental songs.
"The Oakland band's darkly psychedelic country-folk suggests things on the verge of collapse... appealingly overwrought, its sweetness curdling into menace like Twin Peaks gone spaghetti western..."- PITCHFORK
"...Haunting."- NOISEY"...Mesmerizing, burnt-out vocals and stately brass."- UPROXX
"...You're left in awe...it seems to transcend era and time."-LADYGUNN
"...slow, slightly twangy, and every bit of it is beautiful."- IMPOSEMAGAZINE
"Gebauer sings, his shredded, husky voice like someone dragging the needle on a Nick Cave record."-CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
